First, yesterday was David's last day at work - he is officially retired. And, as he put it, "freaking happy."
Next, last Tuesday I had my five year CT scan - all clear. From the point of view of cancer, I guess you could say I am "cured". It's a milestone. I feel huge relief and enormous gratitude.
Finally, I gave my employer notice that I, too, will be retiring. My last day at work will be July 27. Now I truly start counting down to a new beginning.
Between now and then, in mid-June a visit from Melissa, John and Austin - cousins from Tennessee - and in July, from Sam, Cachao and Cello, my boys.
Then, and I hope always, this is what I'll look forward to seeing every morning - taken on my morning walk with Ella on Memorial Day weekend:
Peace. Peace. Far and Near. Soon, in our lifetimes.
